The European Parliament has appointed its Vice-President and former European Commissioner for Economic and Monetary Affairs, Olli Rehn, to ERA's Governing Board.

On the occasion of a reception jointly organised by ERA and the Council of Bars and Law Societies of Europe (CCBE) in the European Parliament on 23 September, Rehn said it was a great honour for him to be responsible for the Academy:

„ERA has earned its high reputation as one of the leading centres that provide education in European law. I know many officials from the Member States and the EU institutions that have taken part in ERA courses. All of them have been very happy and satisfied with the high quality of the courses. The EU institutions must sufficiently invest in training and education in order to maintain the high level of experties and updated information in the Institutions“, he stressed.

ERA‘s Governing Board lays down the general guidelines for the activities of the Academy. It appoints the Members of the Board of Trustees, the Members of the Executive Board and the Management Board and adopts the budget.
